Adrenal tumor surgery, or adrenalectomy, is an operation to remove a tumor from one of the adrenal glands — small glands that sit above each kidney and produce hormones essential to life. It is recommended when a tumor is overproducing hormones (such as in Cushing's syndrome, Conn's syndrome, or pheochromocytoma), when it is large or growing, or when imaging raises concern for cancer. Most adrenal operations today are performed using minimally invasive techniques — laparoscopic, posterior retroperitoneoscopic, or robotic — through small incisions, with hospital stays of two to three days and recovery measured in weeks. Open surgery is reserved for very large tumors or those suspected to be cancerous. Preparation before surgery is particularly important for hormone-producing tumors, especially pheochromocytomas, where blood pressure must be carefully controlled before the operation.
The adrenal gland is removed through three or four small incisions in the abdomen using a camera and thin instruments, with the patient positioned on their side.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: CT abdomen with adrenal protocol (if not recent), 24-hour urinary metanephrines / plasma metanephrines, Serum cortisol and dexamethasone suppression test, Serum aldosterone and plasma renin activity, CBC, LFT, KFT, ECG, Blood pressure monitoring and cardiac evaluation. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,000 – $5,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~12 days recommended
Total stay: approx 19 days
The adrenal gland is reached from the back through small incisions below the ribs, without entering the abdominal cavity, which can allow a faster recovery and is especially useful after prior abdominal surgery.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: CT abdomen with adrenal protocol (if not recent), 24-hour urinary metanephrines / plasma metanephrines, Serum cortisol and dexamethasone suppression test, Serum aldosterone and plasma renin activity, CBC, LFT, KFT, ECG, Blood pressure monitoring and cardiac evaluation. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,500 – $6,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~9 days recommended
Total stay: approx 15 days
The operation uses robotic arms controlled by the surgeon from a console, offering enhanced three-dimensional vision and greater precision in the confined space around the adrenal gland.

Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $7,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days

A single larger incision in the upper abdomen or side allows direct access to the adrenal gland; reserved for very large tumors, suspected adrenal cancer, or cases where minimally invasive surgery is not safe.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: CT abdomen with adrenal protocol (if not recent), MRI abdomen for local invasion assessment (if cancer suspected), 24-hour urinary metanephrines / plasma metanephrines, Serum cortisol and dexamethasone suppression test, Serum aldosterone and plasma renin activity, CBC, LFT, KFT, ECG and cardiac fitness evaluation, PT/INR and coagulation profile. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,000 – $8,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~6 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~18 days recommended
